A fierce midday blaze swept through a seven-storey office building in Central Jakarta, killing 20 people, including a pregnant woman, and forcing rescuers to conduct floor-to-floor searches for survivors. Police say the fire began on the first floor, likely triggered by igniting batteries, before rapidly spreading upward. Thick smoke caused widespread asphyxiation as emergency teams used portable ladders to reach trapped workers. Authorities warn the death toll may rise as inspections of the damaged structure continue.
